He studied under Plato  at Athens and taught there (367–347); subsequently he spent three years  at the court of a former pupil in Asia Minor. After some time at  Mitylene, in 343–342 he was appointed by King Philip of Macedon to be  tutor of his teen-aged son Alexander. After Philip’s death in 336,  Aristotle became head of his own school (of “Peripatetics”), the Lyceum  at Athens. Because of anti-Macedonian feeling there after Alexander’s  death in 323, he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died in 322.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNearly  all the works Aristotle prepared for publication are lost; the  priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some  are spurious).
